[quote=Anonymous]Also, maybe this would help with your guilt-- your aunt is choosing this situation, right? If she is of mostly sound mind, she is making her own decision that staying home is worth the risks and burdens. It's not like you are making her live there. And it is not your responsibility to enable her decisions no matter how unwise. It may take a fall or serious home maintenance issue for her to change her mind. Honestly, it is really common for the older person to be in denial until life provides them a reality check or changes their circumstances. It's sad, but that's often how it works. Millions of caregivers are in this situation and have not been able to figure out a solution. So forgive yourself. You are not alone.[/quote]
